Giving Back

Oatley Vigmond is committed to helping improve our clients’ quality of life even after a case has concluded. That’s why we give our time and financial resources to the support of hospitals who serve those seriously injured by trauma, as well as to hospitals devoted to the rehabilitation of the seriously impaired. We also support the health care providers who work in such hospitals and in the rehabilitation community. Our role is not only to provide the best possible legal representation, but also to ensure that communities are set up for long-term success.

In addition to the support we provide to hospitals and the rehabilitation community, we also support a number of different associations within our community. We understand that supporting your community does not just mean financially which is why we also provide support to many organizations by donating our time, abilities and expertise.
